Crime Rate

Why is this important?

Residents of our community deserve to feel safe, valued, and included.

The Region of Peel, Peel Regional Police and Caledon Ontario Provincial Police work together to protect everyone's safety.

How is this measured?

The Canadian Centre for Justice Statistics (CCJS), in co–operation with the policing community across the country, collects police–reported crime statistics through the Uniform Crime Reporting Survey (UCR).

Peel Regional Police provides this data for Brampton and Mississauga, and the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) provides this data for Caledon.

What progress are we making?

Over the past 10 years there has been a steady decline in overall crime rates for Canada, Ontario and Peel Region.

Mississauga and Brampton have experienced a 31% decline in overall crime rates since 2006. Caledon has experienced a decline of 27% during the same period.
